I've run into a few places that only take cash and they could be expensive or inexpensive.

If I was hypothetically on the last day of a CC promo and 1 meal short of reaching a spend bonus, I would look for an alternative to spending $10-15 on "crap" food. If I couldn't find one, I'd buy the "crap" food. I probably wouldn't eat it though.

These days with Square virtually everywhere, I come across fewer and fewer cash only businesses.

I haven’t been to Peter Luger for a few years but I’ve been going there on and off since the mid-90s and it was always cash or their own credit card. It isn’t like a Peter Luger branded Visa or Master Card credit card from what I can tell (I always just paid cash) but rather a store card like Department stores used to have before MC and Visa took over.
